MY Mission

Every child has unlimited potential and I want to lift their learning in fun, creative ways!

About me

My name is Pooja Kanyadan, and I’m a senior at Wheeler Magnet High School.


Ever since I was young, creative expression was one of my passions, be it through writing, reading, or drawing. My favorite types are argumentative and creative writing, and I wanted to share my passion for both of them with young, eager, students budding with creativity!


I have been volunteering since the 8th grade. In 9th grade, I volunteered to tutor elementary schoolers in the Wheeler District for a few days every week. During the pandemic, I have started C2EduLyft and taught both elementary and middle school kids in ELA, math, and Spanish. In addition, I am an officer and a volunteer tutor for an elementary and middle school program. 


Having the opportunity to tutor so many students in a variety of grade levels has taught me so much about the importance of being able to help and has increasingly motivated me to guide students in need to the right path. My goal is to reach out to as many students as I can and spark their interest in all subjects, especially ones that they may find difficult at first.
